As is...

<TABLE class=tborder cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=6 width="100%" align=center border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=thead colSpan=2></TD><TD class=thead width="100%">Thread / Thread Starter </TD><TD class=thead noWrap align=middle width=150>Last Post </TD><TD class=thead noWrap align=middle>Replies </TD><TD class=thead noWrap align=middle>Views</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Or

Thread............Thread Starter............Replies....Views........Last post

The second option is the set-up of the old forum.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

I think we are getting more populated. Currently, close to normal. As fast as they message us, the faster we help them. Everyone had to relogin, so that is why so many guests. They just look in, don't post much, and haven't logged in yet.

General:

If I understand your question correctly, it appears you are trying to address the fact that it is harder now for the reader/viewer to find the thread starter. If that is the case, I do believe it is currently more difficult as the name of the starter is below the thread title. The old format allowed the reader to more easily scan down the column entitled "thread starter" for the name of the person they were looking for without having to scan over the top of topic titles. In other words, the old way was better in this regard.

Wink you need to edit your profile with correct time. Click on user CP top left. Then click on Edit Options - scroll down to date and time options - make the time zone say: (GMT -5:00) Eastern Time (US and Canada) Bogata, Lima etc.


Then change DST Corrections Option to: DST options always on.


Then save changes at bottom. This will set your options to Eastern Daylight Time (6:13PM right now).



wil.

PS. you can also use Pacific time if you wish. (GMT - 8.00)

yep, post starter is sometimes more important than thread title, for instance, in the picks foums. Titles tell you nothing, usually you are looking for a particular poster's opinions. Identity was right in bringing this up IMO.
